Poem
Human foot-traffic is flowing along slightly faster than 2020, but most signs clearly read, "Please proceed with caution". The sounds of lock-downs and quarantines are giving way to celebratory gatherings, but we still keep our 6+ feet distance and the masks on in many places. We still embrace and shake hands reluctantly, as The vaccines are being dispensed successfully. As the case loads and deaths rates are dropping, our masks are disappearing, and visible smiles are reappearing. All indications are that "The Global Reset Has Begun in 2021". From soccer fields around the world, to the stadium built by 'The Babe', we stop and stare, but do we dare? "Is it too soon, too close?", we ask. Yet we proceed, though cautiously. From The Cape of Good Hope to The Straits of Gibraltar; From The Mediterranean, Red Sea, and the Jordan River to the Dead and Galilee Seas; From the Netherlands to the Italian peninsular; From the points of Australia, deep and down under, to The Island of Japan; from the top lands of Mongolia to the low lands of Vietnam; from Moscow to Portugal and on up the Atlantic to Great Britan; and from the southern borders of South America to Northern Canada, there is a sigh of relief and a plan for 'opening', but also a 'cautious' optimism. A sampling of a list of protocols from around the world reveals the following:* #1 This UV Handrail Sterilizer On An Escalator In Hong Kong #2 Danish Supermarket Has A Hand-Washing Station Set Up Outside For Shoppers #6 Robot Deliver The Food In A Restaurant Of Beijing #10 Restaurant In Spain Just Posted Their Menu To Instagram #12 You Have To Stand In Front Of The Thermal Monitor Before Getting Takeout At Mcdonald’s #13 Barbers Wear Full-Body Protective Suits While Cutting People's Hair In Bangladesh #16 Sanitizer Spraying A Safe, Food-Grade Disinfectant Helps Kill Bacteria, Viruses, And Fungi In The Air #17 Hong Kong Restaurants Offer You A Bag To Store Your Mask While Eating #18 Mall In Bangkok Uses A Robot To Measure People's Body Temperatures As They Pass By #20 Tables At This Restaurant In Japan Have An Acrylic Barrier Down The Middle #24 Pews Are Taped Off To Enforce Social Distancing At A Church In Spain #29 McDonald's In Beijing. Temperature Check And Name / Phone Registration Inside Door. All Staff, Including At The Visible Open Kitchen, Wear Masks. Temperature Of Staff Listed On Takeout Items Norway: The government believes that the latest statistics provide a basis for "cautious optimism," indicating that the infection rate has leveled off, the prime minister said. Germany: Cautious Hope Denmark: Walking The Tightrope The Czech Republic also moved swiftly to impose restrictions on travel, ban large events and close non-essential businesses, after declaring a state of emergency on March 12th. Unusually in Europe, it also required its 10.7 million people to cover their faces with masks or scarves when outside the home from 19 March. 060921PSCtest, Global Reset 21, Joe Maverick. 10P *Posted By: CNN, Cnet; Various other internet sites
